«El que hem menjat» is volume 22 of the Complete Works of Josep Pla, published by Destino CAT in paperback, in Catalan.
Josep Pla turns cooking into the starting point of a digression that covers the products of each season, recipes of popular origin, and social rituals around the table. The author does not offer a conventional cookbook, but a personal view that weaves together gastronomy, travel, landscapes, and customs.
The work was originally published in 1972 and won the Serra d'Or Critics' Prize for prose in 1973.
For readers interested in twentieth-century Catalan literature and in gastronomy as a window into popular culture.
Josep Pla i Casadevall was a Spanish journalist and a popular author. As a journalist he worked in France, Italy, Britain, Germany, and the Soviet Union, from where he wrote political and cultural chronicles in Catalan and Spanish.
